Winternationals
Pomona, Ca - Johnny Ahten doesn’t need a slide ruler or protractor to know how to tune his Nitromethane Injected Top Alcohol Dragster. He does rely on the people that support him and the Ahten Racing Team. This past weekend, at the O’Reilly Auto Parts NHRA Winternationals, Ahten did get closer to the tune up he is looking for.
“We are inching away at the tune-up,” said Ahten. “We just didn’t compensate enough on Saturday to make past that round.”

POMONA, Calif. -- Pulling into the races with the #2 on your race car gives a whole new meaning to any race team. As friendly as all the racers are with each other in the pits, when it's race day, they all want to be the team that puts the higher ranked team on the trailer.
There is no question that Maddern Racing, with pilot Chris Demke, have proven themselves to be a power house each and every time they compete. The Clean Boost Performance Oil / Peen Rite Dragster ran within .04 hundredths of a second all weekend with mid to high 5.20 passes that secured them into the #2 qualifying position for race day and took them into the Semi Final round of competition.
